There are a number of places where neighbors have managed to get through-traffic stopped by cutting intersections in half, making them into 2 turns, one each for the 2 pairs of roads meeting, or 2 dead-ends and 1 turn, thus making the intersection no longer useful for driving through on any one street. (As it is hard to explain this clearly, ask if it does not make sense.)
I really do despise these types of intersections. They confuse the heck out of you if your're trying to find someone's home and they increase traffic on streets that do go through. These intersections are all over in Southeast near the U of M. It's terrible trying to get from the campus to NE in the afternoon. The only streets that go through are Johnson/10th, Stinson/16th and Como Avenue. They have tons of traffic because of "dead ends'' and 'traffic calming' measures that prevent residents from moving freely.
